#009 There is so much controversy around the death of George Floyd. It has created so much polarization and violence. Instead of doing a telepathic write about the situation, Adi Kanda realized that George wants to speak for himself. So she received a deeply moving transmission directly from his being, about the point he is trying to make, the why of his death, and the passion he is trying to convey on how he wants to be remembered.
As an introduction, Adikanda shares how the transmission surprised her, (even though she has done thousands of other transmissions from the deceased), in terms of George's relationship to the divine, or God. She shares how it humbled her, also as writing this as a white woman giving voice to an African American man. And she shares when she reads it out loud, how it feels like a real embodiment of George how it changes her voice and the way she speaks.
The piece is called: 'Ordinary man, a letter from George'.
"I was a man of God, please don't assume you know what this meant to me, I don't want any mistake, any more misunderstanding than what already lives in my name. I was a man of God in so many ways. And if you want to understand me, you have to begin here, you have to know me through this way of saying my name.
To me, God wasn't some faraway face, he was as real to me as the brother living next door. In fact, he was the man next door, the ordinary man, just like me. And by ordinary I don't mean boring, I don't mean plain, I mean a man who lived, who suffered who knew the taste of pain. This was my God, ..."
The piece is very personal and very moving and there is an invitation to understand that there is a meaning in this experience. Despite all the suffering. It is such a moving piece because when it is read out loud we can feel the George in ourselves. Or like George says: "...and you know, when you looked at me, at my helplessness, you saw yourself laying there you saw every cruel eye that ever brought you to the ground."
George ends with:
"... , he was an ordinary man, they say, but just look at the life his death began. I wouldn't have it any other way."
